The session is based on the results of our in-depth interviews with dozens of Canada’s top philanthropists and our recently published book The Philanthropic Mind. Through revealing quotes and rich anecdotes, we will elucidate the passions, motivations, defining experiences, likes, dislikes, joys and challenges of these givers.
